; My invention relates particularly to pool 7 and billiard tablesalthough not limited to v metal table withthe aforementioned featuresthis use alone. I q I V V The main features of the invention reside inthe provisionof a bed Supporting structure which provides a light, solidand effective adjustable support for the, bed of thetable with a viewtoward economy in manufacture and assembly, H I. The invention relatesparticularly to a metal table construction and certain features oftheinvention relate to the constructionof a in view.- 7

. With these features in view my invention consists in certain featuresof novelty in the construction, combination, and arrangement of parts bywhich the saidv features andcertain other features, hereinafterappearing, are effected, all as fully'described with referenceto theaccompanying drawingsland more;
